Trade and Informal Employment: ILO, WTO joint study
Apr 14, 2012
www.wto.org 12.10.09 Informal employment curbs trade benefits for developing countries. A joint study from the International Labour Organization and the WTO has found that high incidence of informal employment in the developing world suppresses countries ability to benefit from trade opening by creating poverty traps for workers in job transition. Trade has contributed to growth and development worldwide. But this has not automatically translated into an improvement in the quality of employment. Trade opening needs proper domestic policies to create good jobs. This is all the more evident with the current crisis which has reduced trade and thrown thousands into informal jobs, said WTO Director-General Pascal Lamy. Further information about the WTO and the International Labour Organization is available on the WTO website: www.wto.org More WTO News videos are available.
